SIPD, it does get better. Your brain is adjusting to being sober as well, especially in the early stages so it's going to be strange.

Keep one foot in front of the other, and find something to help remind you why you chose to be sober (recovery program, coming here, other things to do). It eases up the more sobriety time you have and you start to appreciate it, don't cave in.

And another reminder of what being drunk can do..My niece broke her hand last night from punching someone (who she seems to think deserved it). She might need an op to repair her hand. It makes me sad as I don't think she realises she needs to stop drinking all together. Her dad also broke his hand punching a wall on new year's even a few year's back (when drunk). My family has issues with drink. Being sober is far preferable to any of that.
